David Still sits in front of a projection of a sunflower painting during the recent Van Gogh Experience in Boston. The temporary art show displayed a story of Van Gogh’s life, incorporating many of his works to create an immersive experience for the viewers. Perhaps the most notable part of the exhibit was the projection room, where many of the paintings were put together in a moving projection, creating a colorful and captivating show for all who came to see. While the Van Gogh Experience in Boston ended Feb. 24, a similar showcase about Frida Kahlo is running in Boston this spring, for all those interested. Information about the exhibit, happening at Lighthouse Artspace at the Castle (130 Columbus Avenue), can be found on the  Immersive Frida Kahlo website.
